SOCOM 4 Demolition Mode, Evac Co-op DLC Announced

Zipper Interactive revealed not one, but two, downloadable content packs are coming to their PS3 shooter SOCOM 4. The first, bringing back the popular Demolition game mode from previous SOCOM titles, will be released today for $9.99.

In a Demolition match, a bomb spawns on the map and both teams fight to acquire it. Whichever team gets it must then take it to their opponent's base, arm it, and defend it until it detonates. The other team will, naturally, try to stop this from happening.

"As a special promotional bonus starting tomorrow, new purchasers of SOCOM 4: U.S. Navy SEALs who buy the game at select retail partners will receive a free voucher for the Demolition Pack," said Zipper. "When you buy the game new from Amazon, Best Buy or GameStop in the US or EB Games in Canada, be sure to ask for your free Demolition Pack code and then simply redeem the voucher on the PlayStation Network to download the pack at no additional charge. With SOCOM 4 now available at many retailers for $39.99 and with codes for both the Demolition Pack and SOCOM Pro Pack included for free, there’s no better time to pick up the game."

Along with the new game mode, the Demolition Pack adds four maps and six character skins. Two weapons are included as well.

On November 1st, Zipper will release another DLC pack featuring a new co-op mode called Evac for $7.99. In an Evac session, players must fight their way through enemy lines and get to a friendly vehicle for extraction. The mode can be played in the original six co-op maps as well as a new "Onslaught" map. "Onslaught" can be played in "Espionage" and "Takedown" modes too. Rounding out the Evac Co-op Pack are two weapons and five character skins.
